Sadly, not as good as it use to be. Seemed short on staff which resulted in confusion & slow service. Menu offered standard fare with an uplift from local fruits and vegetables. One of the more expensive eateries in the village, but arguably not the best. If “upscale” is important to you then this would be the choice in YS.

Our service was lacking. As others have mentioned. We had a very early reservation so the place was empty. We were sat very quickly. Bourbon selection was nice. The problem was attention to glasses and my wife asked for more butter 4 times before they brought it. The food is good. Portions are very small. We spent over $120 and stopped for more food elsewhere an hour later.

It’s my favorite restaurant where I take my friends visiting me all the time. Food is excellent with being creative and locally sourced. Their food never failed me or my guests. The atmosphere is lively and artistic. There are always local artists’ exhibits on their walls. Make sure that you make a reservation before your visit. There is always a line of people waiting to be seated.

Huge disappointment! We arrived 15 minutes before our reservation only to be told it would be another 15-20 beyond our reservation time to get a table outside. We were happy to wait because we were not in a hurry. So we sat at the bar and tried to order a drink from the busy bartender. We eventually got our drinks, but they were not made correctly. Another party walked in and the bartender sent them outside…to take our table! Guess she knew we weren’t locals! 15 minutes later, the hostess offered us a table inside. We left and went down the street to another establishment that was more than happy to serve us. We will not be back to try the food at Winds Cafe!

It’s a very popular restaurant in the heart of town so get a reservation. The staff was great but keep in mind shortages so wait may be longer. Food was delicious and not overly big. Swordfish tender and flavorful with the garnish and veggie soufle light and tasty. Drinks were amazing! Spicy margarita and a sweet mule. A tad expensive for the local vibe but it’s a little posh-ish oasis in a sea of long hair and incense.

The Winds is the best restaurant in town! I’ve had the most delicious food every time I’ve eaten there. The staff is welcoming and the ambiance is like no other. I also love that they have local art up on the walls year round. The menu is seasonal so there’s always something new to try. I would 10/10 recommend this place to anyone that visits Yellow Springs!

It is a nice restaurant with great staff. The only reason I did not give 4 stars is because I do not like foo foo food. But to those that do it is a great restaurant.

I’m vegetarian and they have a few options but not a ton. There is definitely nothing wrong with this restaurant but I’ve been probably 5-6 times and the vegetarian options are just okay but not five stars. It is the nicest restaurant in Yellow Springs and perfectly fine. Lots of people love it so it might just be the vegetarian options are not amazing. No major complaints at all. Patio is especially great!
